Being a victim of bullies and insults is quite hard to express the troubles of what is exactly going on. In an aspie's world, bullies still do happen into young adult years. I am 23 years old and I still experience bullies today. They are mostly verbal such as political/belief attacks, related influences and social perspectives. While most people around the world who are being victims of bullies usually do not share the troubles. Depression and anxiety becomes a problem under this scenario. I used to be like this, until I stepped out of my comfort zone I started to express my feelings.
So what's worth bullying people? All aspies always get bullied because of different perspectives. During young adult years especially my experiences I always have people to mock around my actions. This is familar to discriminationary and racism actions by applying the judgments of appearances and behaviour/culture. Hardest thing to get out of the bully bubble is to pretend to be like them. Being like non aspies is very difficult because the way I act and react cannot be expressed into different perspectives.
Over many years I experienced cyber bullies from weather community, urban design and aspies forums. It has been three years since the last time I was being a member of these forums, this is because I don't want to continue experiencing nightmares. In first couple of years my university degree I also experienced bullies from the colleges. I was being passionate to things in relevant to my discipline; I shared these interests to the members of the colleges. Sadly I was being influenced by their mockery and judgments. Imagine if I am being a politican working to help our communities I would be fairly likely to be targeted by conservatives, criminals and narrow minded people.
What I can say from my perspective, bullies are like being conservative and fighter. I never bullied anyone in my life, ever because I don't blame people actions instead I expressed my feelings towards their actions. For instance, why ignoring me. Bullies can be on different level - such as silent action; when a bully do not let the victim know what is happening and on other level the actions is clear and exposed to everyone.
So these bullies in political environment from different beliefs is quite frequent. Sometimes bullies lead to wars like what is happening in Middle East. So nowadays I experience bully from Facebook. Since the popularity of Facebook has demanded our society I met many people who are being a conservative to my actions in similiar fashion as what I experienced during high school. It sounded like these bullies trying to make an excuse of my way of lifestyle. I have been negatively labelled as a retard and pedophile many times over the years by judging my writing and photos.
Ok so what we all should do about it? Since many causes and campaigns around the world focused on bullying. It does not seemed has changed a lot since I first experienced bullies. Most days I started ignore them and pretend I have acknowledged them. That was once the non verbal bullies stopped. But that doesn't change the way how they do, especially continuing to do so. The problem what we have is education. In Australia as example of one of these nations around the world have poor education skills and awareness. The fact we all know it that bully is a common crime everyday. Most bullies I experienced it is from a non educated person. Silent bullies can be either from educated or non educated background. Why this case so? Silent bullies are like judgmentals and narrow minded conservative attitudes. For example; never listen nor reply my responses, tell other people not to interact with me, and discuss things behind my back. I am a victim of silent bully everyday. Do they ever realise they are wasting time doing it?
The laws isn't strong enough for bullies. Punishment must apply and the results should be more educated. Bullies from either virtual and non virtual world must be punished by a law on different levels; if the victim experienced injury or death from the influence of bullies, the offenders should be identified on same level as murder or attacker. The world without bullies we all should never worry about the crimes!?
